    Well a lot of breeders here make their own incubators (and have done well with them) at a fraction of the cost of buying one.

    If I want to buy a professional one and not make one, for ball python eggs, how much does one cost? And who sells them?

    They are around $500 - $550 + shipping for a small 16"x13"x10.75". I do not know the price for a larger one, but assume that it would be much more expensive. I built one that is huge. It cost me less than $75, and works great. I highly suggest going this route. Save your money, and spend it on more snakes...

    Tell ya what.... If you insist on buying and not building, I will make you a great one for $500! (just know ahead of time that it will be made out of a 120qt cooler, and the parts will cost me about 70 bucks... It does take about 2 hours to build though....)

    Such a business scheuster....man...businessman. :)

    Seriously though, save yourself the money and build one, it will be way cheaper and probably take you just a couple of hours. Consider it making 200 bucks an hour while you work on it.

    If you decide to get a pro built one anyway, I think Nature's Spirit has some.

    I have never used those. I don't know if I would trust the heating elements they use. I would rather go with flexwatt and a digital thermostat (Herpstat Pro).
